I am currently playing Crackdown 2. The graphics are outdated, no story, environments are similar to original and it did not get the greatest reviews. However, it is also the ultimate "sandbox" game where I can just roam around the city aimlessly. I love the gameplay for the most part (driving and hand to hand combat could be much better) and just jumping around and climbing buildings around the city collecting orbs (the most unique thing I like about this game).

This game is not really that polished and could have been much better if they did not rush it to market, but I still love it, just like the first one.

StarCraft II is out as of a couple days ago. Anyone else playing? I'm doing the single player and trying to get the side objectives too, which is really slowing me down only at the 3rd mission.

Then again, I realize I'm way out of practice as I haven't played the first one in 10 years or so. The 2nd one seems to expect you played the first and know what you are doing. I need to relearn the hotkeys.

I'm torn between posting here and "what funny thing are you enjoying tonight" -- We moved the XBox 360 into the den and hooked it up to the Axiom system. "17" is enjoying the hell out Nazi Zombies at the moment (no offense to anyone, Heck I'm 3/4 German). So I asked the boy what they play in Germany. He said, "well maybe it's the similar to what they call the local cockroaches (here they're called German cockroaches). Apparently Germans don't like the term, so in Germany they call the bugs French cockroaches. So maybe, it's called French zombies?" Again, no offense to anyone. It's just a game. Brutal and pointless though it may be.

Changed my opinion about Final Fantasy 13. That game is garbage. 67 hours in, maxed on most levels, 3/4 of the way done with side quests... and what happens? I get to the end boss (Orphan) and I can't beat him.

Screw this game. Why do people need to make final bosses so damn hard? Seriously, I was really dreading having to find out how long the last cut scene was going to be anyway.
